The title pretty much says it all  The patch will be available on October 29.  Here are the patch notes:

Game System Tweaks

• The host’s ability to kick and ban players has been removed.
• The ability for players to switch teams post-game is now restricted so that sides cannot be unbalanced by more than 2 players.
• A new switching team system has been implemented during matches:
  * If there is a deficit of 2 players between teams, the weaker team will drop a team colored ball on the death of a player.
  * Picking up the colored ball switches a player’s team and rewards them with a 300 point bonus.
  * So…get the ball.

Cool, haven't played this in a while, probably get back to it when its released.

oh this is good to hear. I will diffidently come back in a play some.

Awesome! I still play this game a bunch with my friend. One of my only problems with this was the weird ranking thing and inability to change targets effectively.  
 
Good to know this is fixed, gonna have to jump in and see how all this plays!

i didn't pick this game up, yet.  
there's a demo? i'll try it out when it's out 

" i didn't pick this game up, yet.  there's a demo? i'll try it out when it's out  "

I stopped playing when most of my matches kept ending with me quitting since they mostly end in a stalemate where no one gets the advantage. If they fix that i might go back

I couldn't wait two days for the demo and bought today.  I'm really regretting my decision after my first online game, what a mess.  Granted, it was a Deathmatch game.  I'll try the capture mode later.

Purchased this game mere days before this patch was released.  I don't know if I'm that good, but I've been in the top 3 in all the games I've played in.

I had high hopes for this game, and the bugs wronged me deeply. But i'll give it another shot. hell, I did buy the game, so I might as well use it.

At first I was pretty down on the changes they made, especially pretty much switching the ranking of the Warrior and Worker, the worker is not the weaker one of the two. The warrior is as fast as the worker (it seems) and the worker doesn't have knock-back which means that a worker one-on-one with a warrior is screwed. I feel like the worker should at least be faster than the warrior. 
 
As for New Pork, it's too big. There are some areas that feel completely empty and pointless. Maybe it's just that I haven't found any of the secrets on that map yet.
 
However, I still love the game, so if anyone wants to play then add me - WawErik
